Hundreds of U.S. Census workers will be canvassing Newton County neighborhoods until the end of July, in an effort to reach any local address that did not return a 2010 Census form. Local Census official Gloria Solomon said with the recent employee additions, approximately 400 census workers have been hired to work in Newton County for the Census, creating a temporary influx of much-needed income to local residents. The Census Bureau estimated that 1.4 million people were hired nationwide to conduct the 2010 Census, and 3.8 million people were hired over the past two years.
